Shopify
Connect BabyLoveGrowth to Shopify with a custom app and publish to your store blog on auto-pilot.
The Shopify integration lets BabyLoveGrowth publish articles directly to your Shopify store blog. Once connected, every newly generated article is published automatically — live or as a draft, your choice.
Integration Video
No blogs found? Check these first
If you see "No blogs found. Create a blog in your Shopify store first," confirm that your store has at least one blog set up (e.g. Content → Blog posts → Manage blogs → Add blog), that the credentials you provided are valid, and that your app has the correct access permissions ( read_content and write_content). Also ensure the user who created and installed the app has the Owner role for the site — the Collaborator role does not work for this integration.
How to Connect Shopify
Open Settings → Integrations, find Shopify under the CMS tab, and click Connect to launch the setup wizard. The wizard walks you through 7 short steps, mirrored below. We recommend the Client Credentials method (Client ID & Secret) shown here.
Already connected? The Shopify card shows a Connected badge — click Manage to update your blog, author, or publish settings at any time.

Connection fails?
Re-check your Store Name (from .myshopify.com), Client ID, and Client Secret;
ensure scopes read_content and write_content are enabled.
App not visible in store Apps?
Make sure you completed the Install step (Step 5) in the store dashboard.
Publish issues?
Confirm the integration shows Connected and your blog selection is valid.
Firewall/security apps blocking requests?
If requests are blocked, allow BabyLoveGrowth; if needed, contact support via the chat icon.

Only if you choose Publish Immediately. Choose Save as Draft to review first.
Can I change the author name?

Which store name do I enter?
The part before .myshopify.com (e.g. na70yq-bn).
